i use tcpdump on bering and bering-uclibc, never had an issue with it,
seams rock solid

I did manage to mess it up once but that was becouse i filled the memory
with a tcpdump that i didn't remember to terminate,so allways suply a -c
n to stop tcpdump after n packets! Can't blame tcpdump for that :)

other nice things are.
netsnmp on bering + cricket/mrtg : can show you all kinds of stuff about
your router. such as traffic, interupts, cpu load, icmp messages!. 
shorewall show: shows stats for various shorewall rules
and i know there was a ntop package around, you can probably run it with
the compat libs

if you try to see the traffic with etheral/tcpdump on another pc,
connect into the stream with a hub or a wiretap. not a switch.

ohh and do look at the blinking lights :)

good luck
